    Hello everyone!
    Our concert band is looking for a piece that features harp solo. The Irish tunes would be perfect but it doesn’t have to be. Our community band picks pieces based on what the audience likes to listen to, like the more familiar tunes rather than technical, hard pieces. (And it’d be even better if it doesn’t go over 7 minutes.) Having said that, if you know of a piece written for a band, (wind ensemble/ concert band) featuring harp solo, please share with me. Thank you very much in advance:)

    The Nieweg listing of 10 works for Harp Solo with Winds, as of 2011 can be accessed at
     http://www.orchestralibrary.com/Nieweg%20Charts/HarpandBand.pdf

    At that time these were the only compositions found.

    Alexander Rudajev wrote a concerto for harp and the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, which was published by CF Peters, but seems to have left their catalog.
